The Topic:
Building a Sustainable House from Scratch – Convenor Justin Harding
This is a fascinating topic, a HUGE topic and a topic where there are probably no “absolute” answers.
What we aimed to do was to “set the scene” by introducing the subject, giving some basic thoughts and overview, some pointers as to where mistakes can be made and, in doing this, to promote dialogue and an interchange of experiences with members present.
We also looked for some specific areas of interest which we could focus on later in our programme of events.
The speaker for the evening was:
Sven Maxa a “green” architect situated in Blackburn.
